[@helifynoe9930]

You can create a space-time diagram that includes motions vectors and length scalars that are tied together, and then use it to derive the Special Relativity mathematical equations and the Lorentz transformation equations, and complete the task in mere minutes even if you know absolutely nothing about physics. Funny how they bother to don't teach you that in school.

a=(v-u)/t is not a SUVAT equation, but you need to know it. You don't necessarily need to know SUVAT equations for GCSE, but some tougher boards, like OCR B require it. Check your specification for your board.

Is weight considered as a scalar or vector and why??🌝

[@asianvulcan]

Vector because weight is always directed towards the centre of the earth.

[@Brainiac51]

A vector as weight is a force and force is a vector (weights direction is towards the centre of earth) while other forces will have different directions like air resistance that acts upwards
